This design was a fun little side project during my time at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology. I created this concept of an ideal working model of the Quin Jet in the Marvel Movie and TV series. It has been referenced in the show The Agents of Shield, Avengers, Avengers Age of Ultron, Captain America the Winter Soldier, and can be seen in partial scenes in many other marvel movies.
My concept came on the idea of designing a working concept that could in theory fly and operate. In My design it uses two Turbo Jet Engines using a 60/30/10 Fuel ratio; as the engines spin up the power two Hybrid Turbine Alternators located in the rear of the jet engines. Once at cruising speed the vents located on the left and right of the main cockpit open allowing high speed air to rush into two Turbo Alternators generating more electrical energy. They compressed high speed air then can be introduced into the engines to act as a catalyst for an afterburner system; or the air can be released through the rear thrust controllers located near the rear ramp. Of course where does all this electrical energy go that the alternators create you may ask, well in current aircraft designs the energy would be used to power electrical systems. But I believe with the advancement in high voltage capacitors in theory that energy could be used to power the two ducted electrical fan units located on the wings as well as the electrical system for the aircraft. Since these fans would only be used to hover and be used in take-offs or landings their usage would require less than perceived amounts of energy. Coupled with the added ability off adding vents to the main jets the rear thrust can be angled downward to provide equal counter thrust and the ability to do evasive flips or turns when needed.
The ramp in both the shows and movies can be seen as just two hydraulic struts but in practical use these struts would need to be almost twice as thick. So using a video game known as "Space Engineers" I tested some compact designs and found a version that uses four small hydraulics that are chained in series to push and lower the ram equally and can stop at any angle. I also incorporated a hydraulic release into the base of the door that pulls the ram into the hull seals creating a vacuum seal that most aircraft doors use with pressurized cabins. A cross section of this ramp can be seen on the right side of my concept art.
I have yet to develop what the cockpit will look like but if this art gets a large amount of views i will proceed with that concept as soon as possible. I have yet to think of a way to surpass this art work but I’m open to suggestions. This concept took a little over 32 hours to complete; from the starting idea to the final renders. The current size of this drawing is 24 inches tall by 36 inches wide and it was completely drawn using only a mouse. All of my artwork is done by mouse I find it gives me better control then a pen. Below are some close-ups of the jets; If you would like to use or get a copy of the art work please contact me.
